External Humanities Fellowship

2010-12 External Humanities Fellow
Application Deadline: January 25, 2010

Through its external fellowship program, the Center supports the work of talented new voices in interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. While in residence at the Center, fellows are given generous time to pursue their research. They participate in the year-long Fellows Seminar and other activities of the Center. No teaching is expected in the first semester. Fellows teach one course per semester thereafter. Fellowship duration is from one to two years.

Applications for the 2010-12 Fellowship are due January 25, 2010. Applicants must have their degree in hand and be no more than three years beyond the degree on the application deadline. The successful applicant will demonstrate strong interdisciplinary research potential and show evidence of exemplary teaching.
